Come on in, pull up a chair!

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.

Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.

Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.

This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.

A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.

Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Great cat pictures!  My favorite Heinlein book is Stranger in a Strange Land.  I've never heard of The Door Into Summer.  I am currently reading A Dark Matter by Peter Straub He and Stephen King have collaborated on at least one book!

Sorry about insulting dogs around the world!

sk8eycat, I knew this S.B. would rear its ugly head!  I'm glad I didn't but my wife did.  She filled me in on the swearing AND REFUSED to tell me about this "oath to dog and country" !  She knows that we would be shopping for a new T.V. !!!!

After the Inaugeration (sp?) speech, my Mom said to me "I wonder what all of your friends on  Atheist Nexus are going to say!"  No doubt!  I keep telling her she should join us, but she's not really a computer person.

Steph, that cat looks like our cat Lula and she probably is in my son's downstairs bedroom doing that all day. lol.
